John Wick: Chapter 2 Review

Hey there Wick!

John Wick: Chapter 2 Review – Can’t keep a good guy…err…bad guy…err…ok a good assassin down.

Pew pew pew

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) gets a new dog and once again tries to retire quietly from his dangerous job only to get the ball rolling once again when he had to fulfil a blood oath takes previously. Although he completes his task, he is once again hunted by the brotherhood of assassins after his name comes up in the wanted list. Huge reward money in exchange for his life encourages killers to take a shot at Wick. He gets by with help from his remaining friends but soon finds the whole world is against him. Can John Wick cheat death over and over or will he fall prey in the game of cat and mouse?

Hello there Morpheus!

If you thought the first movie was gory, be prepared for even more body count this time around. I wanted to challenge myself to do a countdown of how many people John takes out but not even halfway, I couldn’t keep up any more. All and anybody who goes against him ends up with dead by getting shot, stabbed, sliced and even ‘pencil’ed’- go figure! Keanu as usual plays his deadpan one dimensional role to perfection it’s hard to imagine if he had ever been happy in his life. The sombre storyline doesn’t help to shine any light on John’s proper background except that he an awesome hired killer. The rest of the cast (cough Ruby Rose) the less I mention about them, the better it is, trust me. The Director could easily made this flick using just three (3) colours, black, white and red if you know what I mean.

Yeay...the dog lives! Really...the dog...

Be prepared, I have a feeling that John might return with a few more chapters and invent new ways to kill take out his enemies.
